Taken By The Mafia Lord

Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides. Above all, the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.

Victor stared hard at Roger who had his rifle aimed at his head and with the fierce look in his eyes did not doubt that the gun was loaded and ready to shoot. But then, would his future father-in-law shoot him in the presence of his family?

Mimi was present and would somehow know something is off if he doesn't return for a while, hence Victor was able to calm down and did not retaliate. As a person in the face of danger, it was hard not to save himself when he knew he could. Roger might hold the gun, but Victor had two advantages, age, and speed - unless, of course, the man was a veteran Assassin. Then he was as good as dead.

"I ask again…" He pressed the gun further against his forehead, "What is the Enforcer doing in my home?" He demanded answers.

The Enforcer was the title Victor earned in the course of aiding meetings and deals for Marcel as his right hand man. Victor was known for his tenacity and unconventional methods of getting things done. Sometimes killing doesn't solve all problems, a little love does.

Well, to cut the story short, his will always get enforced, hence the title. And remind him later to block the wife of his last victim who kept calling him. Why doesn't she understand he no longer spreads love, he has Mimi now and he would give the rest of his love to her forever. Yeah, yeah, he knows ladies can't get enough of him, but his period of love is over.

"To know me this well, you have to be into some pretty deep shit as well, sir? What have you been up to father-in-law? Would you need my help cleaning up?" Victor was offering help at gunpoint.

"Shut up!" Roger hissed, his finger almost pulling the trigger and Victor swallowed. Alright, no offering help then, he wouldn't want to be killed by mistake.

"Did someone send you here to kill me? Who is it? Which of my competitors hired you?" He queried him.

However, Victor calmly answered,

"With all due respect, sir, but if I wanted you dead, I would not have come through the front door. Also, I'm not a mercenary, but a consigliere. There's a clear difference between the both, a consigliere is merely a representative and secures a deal to the satisfaction of his boss while a mercenary ruins the deal. Like you don't know how much I detest mercenaries who mess up meetings for me. Sometimes, I do end up chasing after one to talk the love of God into him." Victor effused, looking stressed about the matter.

He added after a moment,"You can even ask around since you know me so well, my body count isn't even that high. Violence isn't always the answer, sir. "

Now, Roger was the one who was dumbfounded and unable to do a thing. Was this the Enforcer he heard so much about? He didn't look much.

However, he was Victor Luciano, Roger was sure of that. He had known the moment the young man introduced himself with that name and even went upstairs to make research, affirming he had the same man in his house.

He had been pretending all this while, influenced by his wife's just to find a way to trap him here and it worked. What had his daughter Mimi been thinking to associate with the likes of him? Victor was a dangerous man, does she know that?

Seeing that Victor meant him no harm, Roger meant to lower the gun, but remembering his daughter, he aimed again, "What do you want with Mimi?"

Victor raised his hand in surrender. Christ Jesus! His father-in-law was a badass. Look at how he gripped the gun!

"I love your daughter," He confessed to him sincerely.

He lamented, "Why Mimi? You could have gone for other women with your status and filthy money, why do you have to come after my daughter?"

"Because she's Mimi and I love her?" Victor thought over it, wondering if he was missing something here. Was he supposed to add more? Oh right.

"Also, she's brilliant and a badass like you! You should see the first time we met, she gave me this punch on the face, and men, that right hook did hurt badly. But now, I would proudly wear that scar on my face if it was still here, but you know, how our bodies heal and all, so it's gone. However, there is no other girl I would want other than your daughter, she's the missing half of my dark soul. " Victor said, touching his chest with admiration.

But Roger was staring at Victor with total disbelief on his face. And they call this man the Enforcer? He was an idiot. Nonetheless, his speech was touching, but that was not enough to change his mind.

"Find another woman, there are many girls out there who are better than Mimi -"

"There's only one Mimi and that's the one I want."

"Mimi is my only daughter, I would not send her to her death. Your lifestyle is too much dangerous for her." Roger stood his ground.

"You don't give credit to your daughter, she's stronger than you think,"

Victor wondered what he would think if he told him his daughter had already taken a life before he influenced her. But no, he couldn't do that. He would not destroy the image of Mimi in her father's eyes. Victor would be the bad guy alone.

"You are not going to let her go, are you?"

"No," Victor said firmly, "She's having my baby, there's no turning back now. Your daughter is mine now."

Roger stared him deep in the eyes and when he saw the truth in there, he lowered his gun. However, he stepped closer to him till they were staring at each other, man to man.

"You are going to keep this shit from my wife for as long as you can because before she became Mimi's mother, she was my wife first and if you upset my wife, Enforcer or not, I'm coming after you. Is that clear to you?"

Victor saluted him, "Roger that, sir."
